About the organisation
At EdConnect Australia we change lives. We train and support a nationwide group of volunteers to provide life-changing mentoring and learning support in schools for young people who are disadvantaged or at risk of not fulfilling their educational potential.
By harnessing the wisdom and skills of older generations we enrich the learning experience of young people who are at risk of falling by the wayside in an often over-burdened school system. We connect volunteers who want to make a difference with young people in schools who need extra help and guidance.
At EdConnect it’s our mission to unleash this potential for the greater good across Australia.
